FUEL

Well it has been a ruff couple of weeks. I went completely off the paleo/zone stuff I was doing. Wow what a horrible idea that was. I can not even to begin explaining the pain I was in. Tummy hurt very bad. Constinpation, gas, bloating ( I drank two bottles of pepto over the two weeks) and best yet gained 15 pounds, blood pressure went up, and became very sleepy.
Sleepy would be an understatment. I would sleep approx 8 hrs then need a two hour nap mid afternoon. It doesn't make sense to eat (because your hungry) then have to take a nap? I was shocked to find all the "good eats" made me feel horrible. Pizza, chesseburger, wings, french fries, potatoes, burrito's, taco's, and all the desserts you can think of. Two week 15 pounds. Holy shit.
I ate like the typical American. I consumed "fast food" three times a week and approxmently 4 beers a night. I did approxmently 5 WODS during this time and the last one ended in an adult tempertantrum. It was a thruster wod (135) paired with double unders something I usually do well in. My heart felt like was going to explode the first round and double unders left me bent over like a hooker in a alley. I had zero enegry for workouts and huge case of grumpy old man syndrome going on for the rest of the day. Not at one point did I feel or perfome well.
All of this being said I am back on eating paleo and all ready I feel better, I sleep better and will most likely see the performance in the end of the week. I can't say I am suprised however, I didn't think it would be this quick or so noticable within 15 days. I can't even imagine trying to do a Mickey D's for all three meals for a two week period. holy shit I would die. Well onword and upword.
